Williams Sausage streamlines shrink-wrapping efficiency on breakfast-sandwich line
Since 1958, Williams Sausage has produced country-style whole hog breakfast sausage. The company recently added to its product offerings by launching a new line of ready-to-eat breakfast-sausage sandwiches, necessitating the redesign and integration of two of the company’s sandwich-packaging lines. The upgrade centered on a more streamlined and efficient shrink-wrapping capability to process 100% more sandwiches through the new line, while maintaining a zero product-defect rate and maximized uptime.
The end-of-line packaging process was adequate to keep pace with prior sandwich production demands. But with the addition of the new breakfast sandwiches, the packaging line was no longer able to support the increased throughput required.
